Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I have a final supplementary question in respect of 8(4)(c), which relates to the withholding of documents where they would or might cause distress or danger to living persons on the grounds that they contain information about individuals or would or be likely to lead to an action for damages for defamation. If files are withheld for political reasons under that clause, what are the criteria used and is there is any political involvement by the Taoiseach or any member of the Government in the decision as to whether files of that nature are withheld?
